Selena Gomez admits she still feels “awkward” wearing a bikini.
The 18-year-old actress and singer who is dating teen heartthrob Justin Bieber is still conscious of her body as she grows into womanhood.
“Now that I am getting older I’m becoming a woman, and I want to explore that side of myself but I still get awkward if I’m in a bikini so I don’t think I’ll be doing anything too drastic anytime soon,” she said.
The Bang Bang Bang singer also goes out of the way to be personable and welcoming toward her fans.
“Sometimes fans for male pop stars or actors can be a little crazy. I was that way with Jesse McCartney from N’Sync,” she said.
“But I could probably have lunch with every single one of my fans. I like that I don’t seem unapproachable and that they’re not trying to get with me.”
Selena did, however, suffer a backlash on the internet when it was revealed she was dating Justin, but has taken it all in her stride.
“Half of these girls are saying things they would never say to someone’s face,” she added.
“I’m human, so of course it hurts my feelings, but ultimately, I got to the point where I laugh at it.”
